Global Expansion Through Digitalization: A Distribution Success Story
Founded by a visionary beekeeper, Manukora embodies sustainable and ethical honey production. Inspired by nature’s solutions and dedicated to clients’ well-being, they offer authentic, traceable Manuka honey products alongside a commitment to environmental responsibility and exceptional quality
Manukora’s global expansion presented a compelling opportunity to cater to diverse customer preferences across global markets. However, this growth strategy also necessitated a robust product management solution. Recognizing this need, Manukora sought a partnership with Cooperative Computing to develop a comprehensive product management platform, overcoming these key issues listed below.
Process Inefficiencies
The challenge was in understanding the client’s unique workflows to optimize product categorization, handling, and management efficiently. It required a collaborative approach between the team and the client to ensure the platform addresses all critical functionalities.
Data Disparity
One prominent challenge was unifying disparate data sources. Our team needed to develop a QR scanning, and recognition system that could interpret QR codes associated with different products. The platform needed to process the scanned data, match it with existing product data, and update the relevant information.
Integrating Legacy Systems and Multi-Tenancy
Our team needed to seamlessly integrate legacy systems and multi-tenancy for the improvement of their client experiences. We were required to design an architecture that allows data segregation, resource utilization, and seamless scalability as the platform serves several tenants. The team had to ensure that each tenant could customize their experience and access their data securely.
Siloed Structure
Departmental silos created significant roadblocks for efficient product management. Isolated data and communication gaps between departments led to inconsistencies in product categorization, making it difficult to maintain a unified product information system. This hindered efforts to streamline product handling and feature incorporation, ultimately impacting the overall client experience.
Engaging Cooperative Computing
Manukora partnered with Cooperative Computing to address critical challenges in product management. With a vision for a unified digital platform to seamlessly categorize and manage their extensive Manuka honey portfolio, and become digitally enabled to accelerate growth in the automated economy. The following is how Cooperative Computing helped them get there.
Cooperative Computing initiated the project by fostering a collaborative environment to assess Manukora’s digital maturity. Through a comprehensive analysis, leadership gained a clear understanding of how key product management issues impacted the business. Together, both teams devised a strategy for digital enablement, outlining an actionable plan to enhance Manukora’s agility in meeting the evolving needs of target markets.
Building upon the digital maturity assessment, Cooperative Computing implemented a data-driven approach to optimize Manukora’s operations. This involved seamless integration of a multi-tenant platform, unifying data sources across all departments. By streamlining information flow, Cooperative Computing empowered Manukora to cultivate a data-driven culture, fostering improved process efficiencies and enhanced decision-making.
To empower Manukora’s product management team, Cooperative Computing developed a comprehensive cloud-based platform. This multi-tenant solution streamlined product categorization, handling, and management across the entire Manukora range. The platform’s intuitive interface significantly reduced time and resource requirements, enabling Manukora to achieve operational agility and focus on strategic growth.
Through collaborative efforts with Cooperative Computing, Manukora gained a competitive edge by leveraging digital enablement to propel its business forward in a rapidly evolving automated economy.
Beekeeping & Honey Distribution

Manukora’s strategic partnership with Cooperative Computing unlocked a new era of operational excellence. The collaboration yielded significant advancements in several key areas.
Improved Product Management and Client Experience
Partnering with Cooperative Computing, they developed a user-friendly platform that streamlines product categorization, feature incorporation, and information access. This enhancement in accessibility and usability led to a more favorable brand perception, and the improved client experience significantly boosted satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Enhanced Efficiency Through Automation
Manual product management processes hampered Manukora’s growth potential. With Cooperative Computing’s assistance, they implemented automation across repetitive tasks, substantially reducing time spent on product management, minimizing errors, and freeing resources for higher-value activities. Streamlined operations empowered Manukora to be more responsive to global market demands and capitalize on growth opportunities.
Data-Driven Decision Making
